, . 1 , GRAND DINNER Given by the FREEHOLDERS at NORTH SHIELDS, z To THOMAS WENTWORTH BEAUMONT, Esq. Monday the 17th histant, was the day appointed by the friends of Mr. Beaumont in North Shields for giving him a public dinner, as a testimony of their respect for his conduct during the late ardu- otss contest for the County. About one o'clock, Mr. Beaumont left the Turk's Head Inn, Newcastle, accompanied by a number of friends in their respective carriages, and proceeded on their way to Shields. About two o'clock, agreeably-to appointment, they were met at Chirton by a deputation of the Freeholdeta iu the neighbourhood, attended by a large. body of Seamen of the North and South Shields Loyal Standard Association, the Staff of Life Society, and also the mem bers of various other societies, bearing appropriate flags and ban ners, to the number of fifty and upwards, accompauied with two hands of music, and followed by fifteen carriages and thirty gentle men on horseback. Here the hones were taken from Mr. Beau mont's carriage, and he was drawn the remainder of the way by a number of persons who attached themselves to the ropes for the purpose. The procession now returned, in company with their worthy friend and his suite. The windows were decorated with white flags, and festoons of flowers, • laurel leaves and evergreens, tasteful arranged. A platform was also erected between theschool and the teachers' house, on which stood a number of the boys, de corated with white favours, and bearing small' white flags, and also the teachers and a number of the patrons of the school. Above the platform a square flag was eihibited, inscribed, " T. W. Beaumont, Esq. President of the Royal Jubilee School, North Shields—the Patron of Education and the Friend of the Poor." This flag was decorated along the base with a wreath of flowers and evergreens, and surmounted by two white banners, each inscribed " Beaumont for Ever !" The inhabitants of the different houses in the streets through which the,proeetsion passed, seemed to vie with each other in the tasteful decorations of their windows and fronts with banners, flags, and various devices. In Camden-street, in the centre of a festoon which crottA front one side to the other, was suspended a circu lar device, with the following couplet— " Welcome Brat:lloNT, noble youth, " Who fought the fight, and spoke the truth." The procession arrived at the Peorge Tavern about twenty minutes after three o'clock, and it was truly astonishing to observe the solid mass of people which at this time filled the street from one end to the other, rending the air with their acclamations. I , lr. IL after bowing to all around him, was carried into the Inn, and shortly after appeared on a platform erected over the entrance, sletorated with flags, from which he addressed the assembled mul titude as follows Gentlemen—lt is useless to attempt to express in adequate terms what I feel on this occasion, my return to North Shields. You have bestowed upon me your approbation of my conduct at Ahlwick—it is indeed the only reward you have now in your power to give me, and it has been given in a manner the most gratifying--I will say, the moat triumphant that has ever been witnessed. In fact, Shields has outdone itself in its admiration of Independence and of its Champion. Ido not wish to arrogate to myself the title of Champion of Independent*, but the Free holders have been pleased to style me so. Had I returned as your representative, then independence might be said to have triumphed. But Independence is defeated and this is the important lesson which your reception of me this day teaches the people of England—that though defeated we are tar from being without triumph. As it regards the voice of the county, I would ask, is it to be supposed that the voice of the County would return two Tories?— No such thing. lam perfectly satisfied that the county, instead of considering itself represented by these two Tory gentlemen, is much misrepresented.. I do not by this intend to speak against the merit, of either of the gentlemen individually, but collectively. I look upon two Tory representatives as too much of a good thing ; I believe the county would have considered one Tory quite enough, and enough is as good as a feast-1-one Tory therefore would have been quite a feast for them. I will not however dwell too much on this subject, lest it should be imagined I envy either of them their 411CCOSI, I have no wish to quarrel with either of them foray far its Tories go, they are, believe, a pretty good specimen of that article; though I must confess, I consider Mr. Liddell the best of the, two—be is-more-is friend to religious toleration, and therefore I prefer him. Mr. Bell Ido nut think so highly of; 1 do not consider hie sentiments quite. so liberal, therefore not so prime an article.—(Here some person in the crowd hisserl.)— Some gentleman in the crowd I think hissed. That gentleman must have misunderstood toe, I meant nothing diarespectiirl -or personal,. I was speaking merely on political grounds. I bays erstainly been unsmacemfol in my attempt to reresent you ; but there are °thee ittesativ of obtaining 'oat iii Parris; ment ; and. I am not certain but I may descend and stoop to sit for a rotten borough. When so many. are enjoying seats of that kind, I do not see that I shall add much to the mass of corruption by puttintin thyself for one. lam like the hey' who met twenty of his play-follows going to rob an orchard. On being. asked to join them, he said he did not like robbing orchards; but as there were twenty of them, and a number of apples would be stolen, the two or three more that he would take could not do much harm, and therefore he would go., I beg, in conclusion, to assure you that the kindness and enthu siasm with which I have been received this day are indelibly fixed upon ; my beast 1 entreat you-to. keep up your spirits es I shall keep u p mine.-..you will 1 hope lore no opportunity, es 1 shall lose none until the time arrives when 1 shall appear before you again. When that tin* arrives 1 shall he funnel at my post again to fight your battles. In the hope of then seeing you, .1 will now bid you good morning. Between five and six o'clock, neatly 200 gentlemen tat down dinnei ; among whOm were the lion. Capt._ Cochrane, brother of Lord Cochrane, and several others of distinction, including a.mini. ber of the most respectable Freeholders of North Shields ; William Wright, L'sq., and Alderman, in the chair. The dinner, except the fish and venison, was cold, the wines good, the music excellent, and nothing was wantisl to gratify the company, but a little more civility frbm the landlady. Mrs. Beaumont had contributed greatly to the entertainment by the present of a fine buck, which was well relished by many of the company who partook of it plen teously. After dinner, Mese. Nixons and Moor sang, " Non nobis Domine ?" after which the Chairman gave, as the first toast, —The King, with four times four—Air, " God save the King." Toast--" The Duke of York and the rest of the Royal Family." The Cumeatatr—l beg leave to give the health of our distin platted visitor, Mr. Beaumont, with three times three ; which was drank With the must rapturous applause. Silence being ob tained, Mr. BICA.O MONT rose and spoke as billows Gentlemen—Fer the enthueiaatia manner in which you have drank my health, the ordinary language of modesty and affecta tion cannot, in' any adequate degree, expresoi the feelings that swell my buxom.- , -(Applatne.) f shall advert briefly to *het has led to my defeat. The con duct of the Whigs has evidently thwarted the wishei of the comity. It would, however, •be ..unmanly in •tne to treat them with harshness now when they are down. Theraffected to re proach me as reprobating the whole body of Whig gentry ; whereas I evidently meant only such of them as were arranged against me, and who split upon my Lord Ilowick and Mr. Bell, which may be seen on reference to the poll-book. Their con duct in this respect has been alike impolitic and unjust. This reminds me of an anecdote of ' the great moralist, Dr. Johnson. When Boswell had been talking to him of the Whigs, be replied hastily_" Hold your tongue, Sir, the first Whig Was the Devil!" And from what 1 have experienced of these gentlemen, I ern led to conclude that the Doctor was right. I now turn to a more Orion% subject. There is no reward like the approbation of unenlightened people, who are only to be found in a free country. tt is my wish to enter Parliament for the sake of being - useful, and I shall be ready at all times cordially to co-operate with the Members of the county in forwarding your interests. I have long been in habits of friendship with them, and have received from both sew of courtesy. I must now ewer's my gratitude to you for the manner of my reception amongst you. To the lst, moment of my life it shall be die& impressed on my mind. Nothing but the public appro bation could have supported me under the persecution of my enemies). and lam cheered especially by theconsideration that my con ia et during the contest has been approved by the Free holders or Shields. I shall now conclude by giving you as a toast.:-..."_Prosperity to the Shipping interest of North and South Sitieldi," with three times three. Mr. IitAOtONT next rose to give as a toast the heilth of Ad miral Lord Cochrane. - " I shall be proud," riaid:Mr. 8., "if the brother of the Noble Likitiat allow me to Couple 114 niune with his.

The cause be advocated he considered would advancewith the progress of Education, and that every day would add to the number of those who thought with him. They would be led to acknowledge that party is the ruin of the country, and that the principles of independence can alone save us from the impending danger. Between eleven and twelve the President left the chair ; and Mr. Beaumont and his friends, with the principal part of the company, - retired at the same time s highly-delighted with the en tertainment. During the afternoon, guns were fired ; the ships in the harbour had their masts splendidly decorated with flags ; and in the even ing there was a brilliant display of fire-works, while the populace danced in the streets amidst shout, of joy and exultation. RUSSIA. RrPOILT Or THE COMMISSION or INQUIRY ZSTAILISNED AT ,sr. TETIIIL6BI74OII IN CoNIZQUINZI OF THE ITZNTS OT THI 26T11 or D5c,1825. "6T. PITICASSURGII, JULT 1. " Your Majesty is not ignorant that a revolution of a lature to awaken all the attention of the Government, had reached the Emperor Alexander in the month of June last year, from a person named Sherwood, subaltern in the 3d Regime Tit of the Lancers of the Boug. It purported, that in several regiments of the first and second army there were individuals who plotted the overthrow of established order and state, and that they belonged to a secret asso ciation, which increased gradually the number of its mem bers. In naming one of them (Theodore Yatkowskine), Sherwood begged permission to repair to Koursk, to con verse with him and several others whom he believed im- )licated, hoping to obtain more clear and circumstantial cnowledge of their intentions. lie, in fact, communicated :o the Government, in the month of September, the new information which he had obtained. " Other information, conformable to that of Sherwood, and more detailed, were carried to Taganrog by Lieut.- General Count de Witt, who had been made acquainted with the existence and the object of an association of con spirators by an agent, who had pretended to join it. A letter received from Taganrog the first (13) September, confirmed this intelligence. It had been addressed to the late Emperor Alexander, by Captain Mayboroda, of the regiment of Viatka, and appeared the more important, that Mayboroda himself had been a member of the aboVe association. Immediately the Commandant of the se cond army, and an Aid-de-Camp of your Majesty, sent to Taganrog for that purpose, adopted measures of pre caution. " According to the information of Mayboroda, several individuals suspected of plots were arrested, some of their papers were found and, seized, and preliminary interroga tories took place. Meantime, their accomplices at St. Petersburgh either convinced that the government had already a knowledge of their projects, or actuated with the impatience of executing them, undertook to deceive a party of the regiment of the guards on the occasion of the state to be taken to your Majesty, and excited the movement which was witnessed by the inhabitants of the capital on the 14th (20) of December. On the evening of that day, they were almost all in the power of the Govern ment, and their depositions served to clear up, and to complete the informations previOusly received respecting the existence of a plot.. "At this epoch, the labours of the Commission MM., inenced. Every day, the mass of facts increased, which made it necessary to extend the inquiries; nevertheless, always faithful, to the principle established by your Mi jesty, the Commission employed the power with which it was invested, only in cases of evident necessity. Among, the Members of the Secret Associations themselves, it only required the arrest or evidence of those whose testi mony worthy of belief authorized it to consider as seem- . pikes in the most criminal designs, or whose depositions were indispensable to convict the principal conspirators, slid:disclose all the plans which tlwy had fortned. The indivlduals whose mines will be found ilka separate knew only in a verk.itnperfect :srumar t Eile objects of the associations of which they forinetVii 7 liart, and the com mission leaves them fo'yonr Majesty to dceide upon their fate in your equity and clemency. " On the other hand, all. the accused who claimed the special attention of the Commission have been carefully examined. Their answers have been compared, and have been confirmed by concurring testimony, and they all agree. in the principle circumstances relative to the object of the plot; the organization of the secret, society which formed it, and the acts of its directors. " From the whole of these fiters; it results that in the year 1816 some young men returned from abroad after 1 the campaigns of 181.1, and 1816, and knowing the politi cal tendency of several secret societies which then existed in Germany, conceived the ides of establishing similar as sociations in Russia. The first persons who. commtini isited this idea were Alexander Monrovia, at present Captain on half-pay, and Captain Nikita Mouravieff, and Colonel Prince Troubetsky. Their motive, according to the written testimony of Alexander Mouravieff, was an ill-understood love of country, which concealed from their own eyes the movements of a restless ambition. They did not then see, what they confess now in all their depo sitions, that the means which they employed could not conduct them to any object of real utility ; that the exist enee of such a society was contrary to the laws, and to public morals, and that sooner or later its consequences would be crimes which would entail destruction upon themselves, and calamities upon the State. " At these first conferences there were present, besides the persons whose names have been mentioned above, M. Yakouchkine and Serg, as well as Matthew-Mouravieff Apostol, dicers of the disbanded regiment of Sernenou. Chy. They did not proceed at that time to the execution of their projects, and it was only in the month of February in the following year, that they organized the first secret society, under the title of The Union of Safety, or The true and faithful Sons of the Country; Captain Nikita Mouravieff, having then formed an acquaintance with Colonel Pestel, and put him in communication with Alexander Mouravieff, who had previously entered into habits of intimacy with Prince Troubetaky. This society included three classes—that of brethren, that of ?nen, and that of boyars. It was from this last class, superior to the other two, that every month the eiders and directors were chosen ; namely, the President, the Superintendent; and the Secretary. Their reception was accompanied with Solemn ceremonies. The candidates took an oath to pre- Serve secresy, in every 'thing that should be confided to them, even when their opinions and their views should not agree with those of the society. At their admission they took a second oath; they bound themselves to proceed towards the object of their union, and to submit to the decision of the supreme council of boyars, although, according to the declarations of Prince Troubetsky, this title of boyars. was to remain unknown to all the individuals of the inferior classes. It was granted to the primitive Members, or the Founders of the Society, but afterwards new Members obtained it by de grees, and some even received it immediately. Those of whom this Society then consisted, were Alexander, Nikita, Serg, and Matthew Mouravieff, Prince Serg Troubetsky, Novikoff, (formerly Direetor of the Office of Governor- General of Little Russia, but . since dead), Michael Lou nine, and three other Membere; but the latter haying subsequently abandoned this SocietY at different periods, and' broken off all connection with the more ardent of their from the beginning, colleagues, have been thought worthy of the generous Clemency of your Majeaty. - The object of this Ussociation insti tutions of the Empire. Such are the unanimous de was a change in the existing c . larations on this subject of Alexander, of Serg, of ;Matthew, and of Nikita Mouravieff, as well as Pestel. As to Prince Troubetaky, he affirms that, aware of the weak ness and temerity of their enterprize, they diseussed at their meetings the Means Of munoting of every theood of their ofu ntryand 'of furthet`in ft A m accomplishments useful design. The 'prin c ip al object witty to -i ncrease the force of their society by the acquisition of new mem , hers, whose talents and moral qualities were to be sup- ported upon good testimony as at qualification for their admission. It was in their first meetings, likewise, that a resolution was formed to invite Yakouchkine and Major.. General Michel Orloff to. join them. The former had. just left Petersburgh, and the latter was employed at the same time along with Count Mamonoff, and the Counsel lor of State, Nicolas. Tourgtteueff, in the formation of an other society,: .which was to bear the title. of the Russian Knights.—Major - General Michel Orloff, and Alexander Mouravieff, invited a mutual junction of their respective societies, but they could not agree upon - the terms of the union. These plans had no result, and an association of which the General had conceived an idea,' namely, to prevent the erection of a kingdom in Poland, was nOt formed. That which had already existed made no progress. Some of its members, and particularly Pes tel, left Petersburgh. Others discovered an inconsistency in its views, and mconveniencies in its ,laws. Others still, and especially those who had simply received the propositions to fraternize with the union of safety, required that the Society should limit itself to act slowly on the public mind, that it should change its statutes, which had for their basis the principle of a blind' obedience, and the, employment of violent means, and that it should adopt, in place of them others, the principal provisions of which should be drawn from the presumed code of the Tugund- Rued (Society of Virtue). The primitive members of the Union, who, were then at Choscone, with a division of the Guards, opposed for a long time this proposition, and it deserves remark, that it was during these discussions, and at a sitting which Alexander Nikita, Serg, and Mat thew Mouravieff, Yakouchkine, Von-Viesen, Lounine, and Prince Theodore Schakooskoy, attended, that the first mention was made of the frightful idea of regicide. " One of the members, Alexander Mouravieff, had re ceived a letter from Prince Trotibetsky, which announced that the Emperor had the intention of restoring to Poland all the provinces conquered by Russia, and that foreseeing on the part of the Russians discontent, and even opposi sition, he thought of retiring to Warsaw with all his Court, and leaving the country a prey to troubles and anarchy. This intelligence, of which the conspirators themselves acknowledged the absurdity, produced, never theless, upon them an effect scarcely credible. They cried out that an attempt upon the life of the Emperor had be come an object of urgent necessity. Prince Theodore Schakouskoy, according to the deposition of Matthew Mouravieff, proposed not to delay , the execution of it longer than the day on which his regiments should mount guard. They even wished to draw lots who should be the assassin, when, after the torture of an unhappy passion which caused him to hate existence, excited by the agita tion of his companions, and inflamed by their discourses, Yakouchkine offered his arm for regicide. He appeared nevertheless, even in his madness, to feel the enormity of the crime which he meditated—" Fate," said he, " has marked me for its victim. Having become a criminal, I shall no longer be able to live—l shall strike the blow first, and then I shall kill myself." All the rest were ter rified, their fury was reduced, and they stopped in their career. " General Von Viescns exerted himself to prove to them that the news was devoid of foundation. Sergius Mouravieff-Apostol showed them that the projected crime would be useless, because they were not yet in a situation to take advantage of it. Yakouchkine came to his senses, and broke off all connection with the society, which then changeclits organisation, and adopted new regulations, drawn up by Alexander and Michael Mouravieff, by Prince Sergius Troubetsky and Peter Holoschins. - The first part of these , regulations was in imitation of a similar society in Germany. The members declared that they had no in tentions against the Government, and that they pursued their labours in secret only to avoid the perverted instruc tions of malevolence and hatred. The members divided themselves into four branches; the first had for its object philanthropy and beneficence, public and.private. The se cond had for its object intellectual and moral education— the eatitAishment of schools, particularly on the Lancaster , iYin , ein, anti in 'iverneral -',a-nperation- .in the it - lett-action of youth.‘ ,J 174): 4.hai rposnhere,nf this section was, con tided the inspection' of all schools. The third had for its- object to watch over the proceedings of the tribu-.. nals. Its members engaged themselves not to refuse any judicial appointment that should be offered, to fulfil their duties with zeal and exactness, to encourage persons of integrity employed about the tribunals, antl,to, denounce to the Government those who_ betrayed their trust. The members of the: ((nigh elaikwere to devote themselves to political econonty,, o.eneeursge! industry,. to. conselidate public credit, aol t ,te opportvnionopolies, : The interior organization .of,t.be society walstis folltnye;rrlta. founders were to form the union. ~:Ftem this : union Was to be drawn the,oentral council, composed of a President and four assessors, • When the members of the central union joined this Council, the Assembly took the name of the Central Directicm. The . Central Council exercised the executive power, and the. Central Direction the legislative power in the union. The Direction had besides the power of nominating a temporary Chamber of Legislation to ex amine, to explain, and to complete the laws of the union without changing their objects. " It is evident from this statement, that the authority in this secret association, and the power of directing it to any object, resided in the founders or primitive members. It belonged to them to receive new members, by establish ing each a direction. These directions were called effec tive, secondary, and principal. They took the title of ef fective directors as soon as they were composed of ten members. Every effective direction could establish a se condary one, which had no relation but with it; but if the secondary direction established in its turn another com posed of 10 inembers,it became independent of its founder The title of principal 'direction was given to those which had established three free societies. " The principal direction had the prerogative of receiv ing the second part of the regulations. In every direction there was elected a council, composed of an overseer or two chiefs, according as the direction consisted of ten or twenty members. All affairs, both in the, directions and central union, were decided by a plurality of votes. The names of the members, who had merited well of the union, were inscribed in a book of honour, and those who had been expelled, in a book of ignominy. They had the right of leaving the union, but were bound to secrecy on every thing whi c h they id learned in it. There was no particular ceremony of exception. The new member put in a written declaration which was afterwards burned with out his knowledge. Every member was bound to give to the common treasury the twenty-fifth part of his annual income, but this regulation - was so little observed, that only 5,000 roubles were collected in all, and these were spent for purposes unconnected with the objects of the society:' (The remainder of this document is promised ina fol lowing Paper.)

(Nom the Pilots of Tuesday, July 13.) Pants, JULY 11.—Letter. from Constantinople, which have been received at Paris, and which tare of the 25th and 26th of June, confirm the dreadful news mentioned irtlettets from Bucha rest of 28th June, that Constantinople was in flames on the 24th. The Braziliana frigate, from Rio de Janeiro, entered the port of Lisbon on the 4th of July. It had not yet communicated with etny body. Important events were expected, but the most perfect tranquillity continued to prevail in that capital. The Notiza del Giorno of 6th Jiffy announces, on the credit of letters from Corfu of 25th June, that Colocottoni was master of the greater part of the Morea, and that Ibrahim Paella, whose army was redueed to the most deplorable condition; Wainegoae ating with that Chief for the evacuation of the Greek territory. The same paper gives the following view of the commerce be tween England and Italy in 1824 and 1825 :- 1824. • Exported to England - - 1,123,844 Imported into Italy - 3,934,563 1825. Exported to England 1,127,692 Imported into Italy - - 3,499,780 Thus, in 1824, the balance against Italy in favour of England was 2,811,2191. sterling, about 70,280,475 francs; and in 1825, 2,372,086/. sterling, or about 62.092,200 francs. The English cutter the Nimble, Capt. Slater, being in the Gulf of Algiers, three leagues from Cape Matafie, discovered, at the depth of five fathoms, a bank covered with coral. (From the Journal des Debate, July 18.) 44 A rumour spread yesterday on the Exchange, that the Janis saries exiled from Constantinople had returned, and set fire to the city." (From the Doile, dated Wednesday, July 19.) PARIS, Inv 18.—It is thought that Mr. Canning will come to Parisin the month of September. The Austrian Observer announces that Lord Cochrane has demanded of the Greek Government 35,000 pounds sterling for his labours. The Greek Committee would not pay them down, but deposited the sum in the hands of Sir Francis Burdett, who is not to remit him any part of the money till be has arrived in the Grecian Sea. Several Journals announce that Constantinople has been set on fire.—We affirm that no letters from Constantinople have bees' received at a more recent date than the 28d. The Memorial Bordelais announces that news has been re ceived, through a channel which merits entire confidence, that, in consequence of the war with Brazil, several French vessels with emigrants on board, who were going to settle at Buenos Ayes, had been stopped at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, and carried into Monte Video; that part of the passengers have been forced to land at that town, and that the others did not succeed in reaching Buenos Ayres till after experiencing much delay and many diffi culties. This state of things will continue as long as the war lasts between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, the latter port being strictly blockaded. The Chamber of Commerce at Marseilles has just published the following Note : " The Chamber hastens to inform the merchants of this city of the communication which it has received of the declaration made to the Board of Health, by Captain Bouffier, commanding the French brig L'.Excellent, which left Smyrna on the 28th April, and arrived in this port on the 2d of July " It results from it, that having touched at Milo on the 11th May, M. de Rigny commanding his Majesty's naval force in the Levant, bad told him that nine Greek vessels had been destroyed by the ships under his command, and that he might give notice of it on his arrival at Marseilles. " The Captain added, that according to' the orde rs which M. de Rigny had issued, to be carried into effect from the sth May last, every Greek armed venal which should be met with sailing alone should be captured, as the ship. of that nation should be unitA in divisions or squadrons." • (From the Journal de Paris of Tuesday.) PLAIN JULY 17.—The captains of some vends which arrived . at St. Sebastian on the 24 of this month relate that they were chased on the coast of Galicia by several Colombian privateers, and that they owed their escape to the greediness of these privateers, which, descrying veswls of larger burden, attacked them. It seems that during the last ten days these corsairs had captured five or six Spanish vessels, two of which came from Bayonne. " The Echo du Midi, on the faith of letters from Andalusia to end of June, states, that the neighbourhood of Seville was infested with robbers, - It is pretended (says tl:ir Journal) that Corona has re-appeared at the entrance of the Sierra lo Ronda, at the head of a new hand." (From the Gunstitutionnet) " The performance of Turtle's has been prohibited at Paris. On the arrival of Mad. Mr . s, the people requested the perform ance of that comedy, but instead of Tartuffe they were presented with the gend'armerie. This fact speaks plainly enough. " Paats, Jur.r 18.—We are informed that M, Cuvier has been dismissed from the situation of Professor at the College of Nancy, which he has filled for a long time. This circumstance has filled ill reasonable men, of whatever opinion or creed, with regret. If the name and political situation of his relation have been unable to preserve him from the animosity of the Congregationists, we may form some idea of what those persons have to dread who have not the same claims nor the same protection. This dismitiion is cha racteristic. After all that has passed at Nancy—after what people are not afraid of publishing—it is of no use to ask what influence has dictated such an impolitic and unconstitutional measure. TURKEY. Coworralsrtnori,t, JUNZ have, AO doubt, been in formed, through our legation, of the events of which this ca pital has been the theatre. They were a long time meditated in silence, and the first idea, if not of total dissolution, at least of an important modification of the corps of .Tanissaries, is referred to a period five years back. The influence of Hus sein Pacha brought about the immediate execution of a plan so necessary to the security of the empire. It is said that Hussein Pacha, commander of all the troops on the Euro rail side of the Straits, had formed a plan for this purpose with Reschid Effendi, agent of the Pacha of Egypt, lately returned from the Morea, and who, since his arrival, had many conferences with Hussein. It is said that the taking of. Missolonghi, and the recent successes in Greece, had imme diately determined the Divan not to delay the execution of the plan. Hussein Pacha is a man of great decision of character. He is much beloved by the people, and his participation in any operetion was always the prelude to success, a circumstance which must operate powerfully on the Mussulmans, who are complete fa talists. Hussein has nothing of the barbarian. Hii manners are almost European, and he has, for a considerable time, commanded the Tahschi br artillery corps, organised by the Sultan upon an European principle. The agent of the Pacha of Egypt is said to be a reneged° Christian, of considerable talent, like most of those who serve under him. He distinguished himself in the war of the Mores. COLOMBIA. Extract of a letter from► one of a party of Miners, dated Mompox de Colombia, 16th May, 1826. After an agreeable pastihge of six weeks, I arrived at Santa Martha, a port an the Spanish Main ; the town contains about 6,000 inhabitants, of whom there are about 14. or 1580 soldiers, whose emaciated appearance is walling ; they go on parade with out shoes or stockings, and thew clothing of all colours. we Mart the stayed here about three weeks, and during our travels up the lakes and rivers, the scenes partook of the horrid and sublime.—_ For a part of the time I was much troubled, at night, by small in ofhGoldsseladlundlidetdi sects called the sand-flies. On any passage up these pi l w a t ke y a cia l abo & u e. t I saw innumerable alligators, monkeys, baboons, parrots, &c., and during the nights we had plenty of terrific music from the wood s . t o l i i t e i rn m , t. tha T t h s e orn il e ew h s ad sixty ColombiansMany i in f u th m e db towns ae irl)ywithexpw e we e arlasskairda eggs.tca ld f r n ol O nv t ih s ti u hl s p e p a l ts y ps o aa u nn r it dtst a; t in failure reached me while there.

Couto, Sinn 20.—A11 sorts of rumours are abet at to poor Greece ; the cannons of the barbarians have been beard knelt under =noses, and each shot a death-blow to liberty. It is the ' - general opinion that Greece must yield. The flower of her troops, the best, the bonestest of her warriors, hare fallen with . Misso -longhi: The whole (or nearly so) of the lowlands are over4unt and the remnant of this wretched nation must be subdued, if not exterminated. " It is in vain granting freedom to a race so degenerate, so to tally devoid of the solid virtues, as these brave and faithleAs scoundrels. Still, however, their fate is most wretched ; for their struggles will arm all nations against them. This is r.o rid dle, but a very uzitural consequence of their proceedings ; for the, fact is, the whole a the Greek islanders, are turning pirate s, an d pir,Aes from absolute necessity. They say th a t they respect the British flag, but that has not hindered Captain Hamilton of the Cambrian from taking several hundreds of their light cruisers that infested the narrow seas. Ti,sis is an on dit, and I c ollet answer for the absolute truth, but is is probable, for such appeal* to be the natural course of things. " Yet no one that visits their shores beet mutt 'Dream that Greece might still be Ire.' "Every thing is characteristic of the dew ent of the peoples and a very slight glance is sufficient to convince you that t he dark . keen eyes, bushy jet locks, and athletic forms, Oelong to Greeks as resolute, and crafty, too, as in the days of old, Almost the moment after I landed I saw a porter of a fellow klarnwing body into all sorts of attitudes , and swea rin g at anotlusr "By the soul of his fathers," with just as much energy as Deinnathenet himself when conjuring his hearers in the names of the ):boss of Marathon.

We received last night "the French Papers of Tuev d ay, with the Etoile dated Wednesday morning . Their contents are so interesting that we must neces sarily devote a considerable space of our columns to extracts from them. Among them will be found a considerable portion of the Official Report made to the EmperOr, of RusstA by the Commission of Enquiry' established it St. Pt' tersburgb, in consequence of the events of the 26th of December, 1825. It does not appear to us that the conspiracies have been proved to'be of such a serious nature as previous accounts led us to expect ; but to shall postpone our observations on this subject till 6 ' whole of the report is before us. In the mean time we may remark, that an article from St. Petersburg h under date of the 24 July, in :the French papers, states that it is quite certain that none of the conspirators will suffer capital punishment. It is added, that the Emperor NICHOLAS is naturally full of clemency , 311 j seems to be of opinion that punishnients inflicted, eve" on the great delinquents, would have no other tiros than to augment the number of public evils, which, for some time back, have been taking 'root in this Empi re.
